kingchris20 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 One we call a bluegill. But it just looks like a less-colorful version of yours OP. I have another one that has some orange on its anal fin and orange eyes. Don’t have a pic of that one atm though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Kingchris20 is correct, this is a Bluegill and this is a female, males have a deep orange, red, or copper colored throat, and they are very easy to breed. They'll fan out a nest in the gravel and they will eat their young at about the time the fry become free swimming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same genus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
